Booth $4.25
Hansen $1.35
Jensen $0.9
Kassian $0.87
Defense:
Bieksa $4.6
Garrison $4.6
Hamhuis $4.5
Goalies:
Schneider $4
Lack $0.75
That would put us at $47.52 million, needing to sign Edler, Higgins, Lapierre, a bottom pairing and 7th D, and a few depth forwards.
None of those holes will eat up substantial cap space aside from Edler, who will likely not get as much as he would've under the old CBA climate (I'd expect him to sign a deal around $5 million).

I think this team really needs a playmaking winger like tanguay paranteau or an elite defender
Bump Higgins down to the 3rd line or get rid of booth if we can't afford Higgins. I'd like to see how booth and kesler do together now that they are training together first
